For
this year's spring festival cycle we attuned to the flow of energies
in and through the spiritual realm, and aligned with this focus. During Leo, with the Sirius energies the
recent inflow has been further assmilated.

Now as we continue through the Virgo cycle,
we endeavor to work with our present, new impressions and to integrate
them into our service in the worlds of expression.

In present
time, each and every day we consciously aspire to evolve and raise
our vibration. We invite all to participate as we continue through
the annual cycle, to extend and embody our awareness of the zodiacal
energies of the Lighted
Way.

Throughout
the current lunar cycle surrounding the full moon during Virgo, we
ask all in our subjective group, according to your inspiration, to
utilize the materials presented here as seeds for the daily meditation
ritual.

Cosmically Aligned, We EmbraceThe Eternal Rhythm of the Ages,The Rhythm of the Sages

For
the 2018 Virgo Festival, we continue with this invocation as
our spiritual focus mantram.

The
Virgo cycle offers an opportunity for each person in the Holy
Grail ~ the Sacred Chalice, planet Earth’s Light Grid
~ to further participate in the distribution of the Life which in
turn implements the Divine Plan on Earth.

In
that we, as the worldwide group, have envisioned a grid of light
over all the Earth that connects the light of every Lightworker and
each sacred energy vortex, together we form this Chalice ~
the Holy Grail prepared to assist in the grounding of spiritual energies
on behalf of the One Life.

Aligned
in group formation we now move through the sign Virgo,
and our identification, having been refined and enhanced during Leo, is with the Divine. We draw upon experiences
of the Lighted
Way to further empower the great global grid in lighting our world.

The
constellation Virgo itself holds the hidden Holy Grail in the night
sky, and as the Sun traverses the sign Virgo, we're able to tap
into this energy towards advancing our service in the world.

During
this year's spring
festival cycle, we have attuned to the inflow of energies by
way of the Spiritual Kingdom, and aligned with this focus. Now as
we continue through the year, we endeavor to integrate the
new impressions as we also apply them into our service in the
world.

Each
year, our journey
as One is
renewed through identification with
the Divine ~ now via the Monad,
our highest aspect.

As
aspirants and disciples, in present time we consciously reestablish our connection to
the Divine Plan ~ the unfolding Purpose of the One Life. Through
our alignment, according to the Principle of Decision, we become ever steadier in our service expression.

Electric
fire relates to the Will aspect of deity and manifests as Unity
of Spirit. As Watchers of the Dawn, we are called to Wield this
force by
aligning with and directing the incoming flow of energies to reveal
the Synthesis of
Life Itself. All are valuable in this endeavor.

In
this service pursuit, we are pursuing Humanity's Divine Destiny, "... mysteriously related to the revelation
of love upon our little planet, the Earth, through the process of
creation ...." (1)

2018
Meditation Theme ~ Annual
Cycle

The
March equinox initiated our journey for the spiritual year, as we
share now in yet a higher alignment to Purpose in
our service for the annual cycle.

As
each individual unit takes responsibility for applying their highest
dedication to Purpose, each one's life becomes the Path, itself. We may
look to the Cosmic
Path of Higher Evolution to further understand our connection
to the Life More Abundant.

Path
VII, the Path of Absolute Sonship, relates our solar system to
the Great
Bear constellation.
We may contemplate the streams of energy involved in the great triangle
encompassed by that of the Great Bear, of the Solar
Logos, and the seven streams of energy which come from our seven
sacred planets. "Through this triangular
door all the great Avatars enter our system and 'find the Point where
they can serve.'" (2)

The
revealed quality of Synthesis corresponds largely to the Life aspect,
that which enlivens all forms. Synthesis is. (3) This
is so, according to the Essential Divinity of all life. Recognizing
this truth, we are called to surrender ~ to be the Divine Path through
the sacrifice of
all that is extraneous.

Becoming
the Path itself refers to our construction of the connecting channel
between the outer, concrete world and the inner planes of the abstract
ideal (4),
linking us to the larger, cosmic perspective. This is an outgrowth
of the ongoing sacrifice we make in service to the One.

The
concept of Being the Path is similarly expressed in the words of
the Esoteric
Catechism pledge of the disciple, affirming the sacrifice made
by the soul: "I am the Cross, I am the Way; I tread upon the
work I do." (5)

From the
standpoint of our planetary life, at this time in evolution we are
inaugurating the third
Great Approach, "... which will bring the new revelation,
with its realised consequences, of a new heaven and a new earth."(6)

Virgo
Full Moon Festival

Virgo
~ the Virgin ~ symbolizes the form nature. Under the auspices
of Virgo, Soul and body are united, and we're told they are of
great importance to each other:
"... matter guards, cherishes and nurtures the hidden soul."Likewise,
the Divine Mother nurtures the Christ ~ the Hope of Glory. (7)

It
is here, in Virgo, that the intentional impregnation of form by
spirit occurs. Informing substance, the Divine seed germinates
in Virgo. Through our work with the matter aspect, the end result
is the Sacred Form ~ ultimately, the manifestation of the Kingdom
of Heaven on Earth.

...
Virgo (the mother or custodian of the Christ-consciousness) ...
shatters eventually the synthesis and the lower unity ... it stimulates
the soul within the form ... because the genius and uniqueness
of Virgo is that it produces the form as well as stimulates the
life within that form and, therefore, nourishes and energises two
lives simultaneously. It is a powerful dual energy, a potent expression
of the anima mundi or the soul of the world. (8)

The
planetary Hierarchy,
Deity, and the Great White Lodge on Sirius are calling on each
of us to act wisely, as impressed through the previous month's Sirius~Leo
Cosmic Festival.

In
this light, the following additional notes from
Bailey's discussion of Virgo in Esoteric Astrology are
helpful to consider.

•
Virgo also represents the Hidden Light of God.

•
Virgo is the guardian of the light of wisdom.

•
Virgo is, therefore, the opposite pole of spirit and stands for the
relation of these two after they have been brought together ....

•
Virgo is ... the cosmic Mother because she represents cosmically
the negative pole to positive spirit; she is the receptive agent
where the Father aspect is concerned.

•
In Virgo, matter or substance exchange or interchange their
service and each serves the other.

•
... Virgo "involves the service of the immediately present"
or in other words ... God immanent evokes reaction from the form
side and is thereby served. (9)

If
possible, we suggest being in meditation at the exact time
of the full moon. If you are unable to do so, choose a time within 12 hours
before or after to participate in this global meditation. Know that we at SouledOut.org will also join in this planetary meditation.

Feel
free to pause at points in the Meditation, wherever you are naturally
inclined, to allow the energy and information to come in and
to be at one with the energies invoked.

cycle.

Cosmic Freedom Inaugurates Planetary Liberation

Cosmically Aligned, We Embrace
The Eternal Rhythm of the Ages,
The Rhythm of the Sages

We
link up with people of goodwill everywhere, creating
a united group channel through which the spiritual forces can
become available.

Affirming this channel, "We stand
poised, united as One Soul with our Spiritual Hierarchy."
We hold this focus.

We
now visualize and become the Chalice we have created together,
as a grid of light all over the earth that connects the light of
every lightworker and each sacred energy vortex.

This network serves
as a conduit through which the heavenly blessings may flow through
every one of us and to the planet Earth.

Achieving
this alignment, we become still and receptive ...

We rise as One, seeking the Light from on high.

In response the gateway that is Virgo swings open wide and the Light pours into and through us all. This great light illumines and ensouls the Chalice we create, together with our Spiritual Hierarchy.

We now continue
to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious phase of the
full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace,
always a time of spiritual retreat and contact.

Virgo
~ The blended dual Light.Two
lights are seen ~ bright and strong, the light of form;
one faint and dim, the light of God. This light is distinguished
by a waxing of one and the waning of the other.
It differs from the light in Gemini.(11)

The
Lighted Way The entire zodiac can be approached and understood
from the angle of light ~ the inner light, soul light ~ and its unfolding,
increasing radiance is the manifestation of our divine nature. (12)

The
Chalice Besides
being a symbol of the inner plane world group alignment, the chalice
also signifies the place in the etheric body that receives and
disseminates the "gifts
of the Higher Forces" which are then used in service. (13)

The
Holy Grail The Chalice "is the receiver and container
of the life of God." (14) It
is the highest meaning of the constellation Virgo.

Yoga
of Synthesis As we identify with the Oneness of All, we
are able to express the self in light of this larger perspective
and thereby assist in serving as co-creators of the Divine Plan
and Purpose.

Virgo
Zodiacal DeityVirgo, the cosmic mother, imparted to humanity her sacred
gift of love ~ the birth of the Christ consciousness in the human heart.

Virgo
Labor of Hercules The sixth great test of Hercules in
Virgo was to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte, representing unity
achieved through struggle and conflict. Hercules failed but then
redeemed himself, as is the case with every human being in the
attempt to become spiritualized.

The Night Sky During
each lunar cycle the Moon, waxing and waning, journeys through
the zodiac. It partners with and enlivens the sparkling stars
and glowing planets along the way. As the Moon grows in the light
provided by our Sun, we too grow in the light of our Soul. Moon Phases

Lunar Theme: Head of the Lion~Leaving the Boundaries of Known Self~A Supermoon Partial Solar Eclipsee "This August 11, 2018 New Moon produces a [perigee] Partial Solar Eclipse ... (when the Moon is nearest to Earth during its orbit), thus creating a SuperMoon ... [and] a strong lunar resonance with Earth ... eclipse will be visible in the Arctic, far-northeastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, and north and east Asia ... This New Moon lies under the auspices of the Head of the Lion and also conjoins Pallas [*] ... we are impelled to move away from the incubational nest to explore, to become more, to expand ... to break free from the confines imposed by the traditions of our heritage, and ... self-imposed acquired beliefs. Adventurism, exploration, breaking trail, to be inventive, to go where we have not gone before, are all themes here ... " - Nick Fiorenza gives insights to this lunar cycle, which begins August 11, 2:58 am PDT and ends September 9, 11:01 am PDT.

Preparation
for Participation in This Meditation Focus

If possible,
we suggest being in meditation at the exact time of the full moon. For this
meditation, and as each is able to join the world group at the time of
the full moon (Sunday, August 26 at 4:56 am PDT ~ 11:56 UT), it is suggested to begin meditating earlier so as to be in deep meditation
at the exact time, and then continue for as long as you feel compelled.

We at SouledOut.org will align for this global meditation at the Virgo full moon festival. We also encourage utilizing SouledOut.org's Global Meditation
in group formation at the exact time of the full moon, and whenever
possible during this festival's safeguarding cycle.

If you are unable to join us at this time, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to align with these energies and be part of this global meditation.

Prior to
your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually
align your energies.

Consider
what is the appropriate way to join in this meditation ... you
may wish to participate in group formation on the physical plane
as well as on the inner planes. Whether or not you choose to be "alone" on
the physical plane, know you are uniting with many others who also
are attuning to the energies available at this Global Festival, and
that this group focus creates a powerful channel for the meditation
to be potent and effective.

The Full
Moon Festivals Culminate over a Five-Day Period ...

Our Virgo-themed meditation
focus beginning at the new moon leads into the two days of preparation immediately
preceding the full moon. These are to be dedicated to spiritual reflection
and detachment from everyday concerns,as
each prepares to become a vessel for the energies of light and love
they will receive and channel. At this time we hold the attitude of
dedication and service, and seek to assume that attitude of receptivity
to that which our soul will impart which will make us of spiritual
use.

The day
of the full moon itself is the day of safeguarding, one of inner
peace and silence during which we attempt to contact and consciously
hold the energies for the rest of humanity. We will not formulate for
ourselves what will happen, nor will we look for results or tangible
effects.

While one may not observe the exact moment when the moon is
full, it's important to find some quiet time to reflect alone or use
this opportunity to meditate with others of like mind and focus.

The two
succeeding days are called the days of distribution. We now turn
the attention outwards, away from ourselves, and our efforts are to
pass on the spiritual energies that have been contacted. We assist
these spiritual energies, transformed into goodwill, in flowing to
where there is greatest need.

We
now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious
day of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain
inner peace, a time of spiritual retreat and contact.

As
you wish, feel free to continue use of this meditation for the entire
month of the Virgo full moon cycle.
